My most expensive straight was my first one, as it threw me down that rabbit hole of purchasing many more.
Most expensive straight razor in your collection and why?

This is my most expensive or rather priceless razor!
It was given to me by an very generous member for whom I am extremely grateful to.
To me she's priceless, to be handed down through the generations or given away but never sold.

Thank you Luke!!!
My Max Sprecher 10/8 Half Hollow with Barber's Notch. The pic says it all as to why I bought it.

Thiers Issard, enough said.
I fell in love with the unusual blade shape (spine work & barbers notch) , plus it's a reproduction of a really old razor they used to make (old school style in brand new condition: win win)

Mine is a Tim Zowada damascus steel, I bought the blade from tim and then scaled it in ivory
Why? Why not, it is a beautiful razor I will have forever and pass down to my son, truly a piece of art-and it was my last razor I bought to keep, I haven't bought a razor in a few years.
Wow, Alfredo! That’s a beauty, is it still your most expensive?

I have a lot of razors, 99.99% were purchased for under $60-70 and restored. So I don’t have any with significant cost, but this one with scales by @Doc226 is the only one I think fits the bill. 9/8 Wade and Butcher

Hart Steel 5/8 Straight Razor, Satin Finish, Square Point
Just ordered it yesterday. I’ll post a pic when it arrives. It’s really my birthday present, that I got to pick out. Also, I just learned a painful lesson on my previous purchase, which was naive and overly optimistic: a no-brand Damascus steel razor from an online storefront that turned out to be made of poor quality steel and wouldn’t take an edge. Prior to that mistake I bought a really nice vintage razor from Whipped Dog, and a nice W&B I found for a steal at a flea market.

My Rockwell 6S is my daily driver.
I also have a Gillette that was recently released and a Micro One Touch. The Gillette has never been used and the Micro One Touch was retired when I acquired the Rockwell.

Oops. Just reread the title and saw “straight” for the first time. I’m sorry to have intruded.

Ok, very pleased with the Hart. Honed it up and it shaved like a dream...very light and nimble.
